How To Train Your Dragon 2 Synopsis

Netflix has a number of movies and TV shows set to be available streaming in March and among them, one of the most 80s movies that ever 80s'ed, Teen Witch. How's Netflix possibly top that? Well, the March list does include the arrivals of Archer Season 5, How To Train Your Dragon 2 and more...

Every year, the Oscars proves itself to be an extremely tricky affair. While many of the declared victors are ones that can be universally agreed upon – like J.K. Simmons taking home this year’s Best Supporting Actor prize for Whiplash - there are still other choices that left us scratching our heads.

In 2014, it was hard to find a movie more entertaining and joy-inducing than The LEGO Movie. Released in February - classically one of the less-great parts of the Hollywood release schedule - the film stood out and sparkled, not only by delivering numerous deep-gut laughs, but also having something fascinating and deep to say about creativity and how we express it.

Its former debut date had the sequel facing off against the Shane Black-directed, Russell Crowe-fronted The Nice Guys as well as Pixar's Finding Dory, the long-awaited sequel to 2003's Finding Nemo. On its new summer home in 2017, How To Train Your Dragon 3 is currently uncontested.

Summer sequels took the top three spots this weekend, with newcomer Think Like A Man Too banking number one with $30 million. That's down slightly from the opening weekend of its predecessor which earned a $33 million debut two years ago.

As movie fans, we typically think of box office performance in relation to how it affects our favorite stars, directors and franchises. If Star Wars Episode VII were to open to empty theaters and $14 million for its first weekend, it would likely mean less money for newer installments and perhaps a complete severing of the relationship between JJ Abrams and Disney.

Did you know How to Train Your Dragon 2 contains a very subtle scene where one of the beloved Vikings of Berk reveals he's gay? Even if you are one of the many who saw the animated adventure this weekend, you probably missed it. We certainly did.

Two sequels to two popular movies went head to head this weekend. One was after the rated-R crowd, the other after the family friendly folks, but there was still one that was expected to come out on top. It didn't.

In advance of How To Train Your Dragon 2’s release date, 20th Century Fox invited a group of film reporters to DreamWorks Animation Studios where we not only had the chance to sit down for an extended chat with director Dean DuBlois, but also tour around the facility. We learned multiple fascinating things about the new movie throughout the day, so read on to learn all about it!

Considering seven separate categories, To 3D Or Not To 3D evaluates the full scope of the 3D viewing experience. Think of it as a consumer's guide for your movie-going, complete with a viewers poll where you can weigh in on how you plan to see How To Train Your Dragon 2.

We have a couple of sequels coming out this week. Typically, the sequel culture dictates a pre-determined drop in quality from the original. But not this week. We have two sequels coming out that may each be better than the first. Tatum and Hill head to college and more dragons get trained.

Almost every major sequel, from Harry Potter to Twilight or The Hunger Games, takes its final chapter and divides it into two parts. The decisions are driven by money, and if How to Train Your Dragon 2 -- due in theaters on June 13 – breaks the bank, you can bet the house that Dragon 4 will be discussed.

Which is why we've decided to break down most of the summer's offerings, observing exactly what it is about some films that cause them to succeed and fail. This involved number crunching, market analysis, educated guesses, and the application of a few snobby biases.

When it comes to Game of Thrones, plenty of fans have been wondering what would happen if the blond mother of dragons Daenerys Targaryen crossed paths with disgraced Crow and mysterious bastard Jon Snow. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is giving us a taste of how it might go down.

Kids are looking forward to seeing How To Train Your Dragon 2 because they’re either already fans of the franchise, or because it looks absolutely beautiful. Adults need a little more to sell them on a movie like this, as kids films don’t always promise the most mentally stimulating of times.

The festival will open with Olivier Dahan's Grace Of Monaco, though there's no shortage of auteirist works as well. Former Grand Prix winner Atom Egoyan returns with Ryan Reynolds-starrer The Captive while Jean-Luc Godard presents his newest late-career project, the winkingly-titled Goodbye To Language, which will be presented in 3D.

A new trailer has hit for How To Train Your Dragon 2, and it’s got everything you could ask for! Suspense, action, romance, and reconciliation! Not to mention a giant ice breathing dragon that’ll cause a lot of ill-advised Game of Thrones jokes.

DreamWorks Animation is swooping in on our imaginations by dropping 11 different stills from the highly anticipated upcoming sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2, and they’re just as gorgeous as you would expect.

Her name is Valka, and while Hiccup may think he's broken new ground in human-dragon relations, it's this reclusive lady who did it all first. Valka is a master Dragon Rider who lives in the Arctic and has been dedicating herself to setting dragons free from human snares and traps.

DreamWorks Animation is claiming the first movies panel of Comic-Con today, and they've wasted no time in breaking some news about one of their most anticipated upcoming films. Our Mack Rawden is in the room liveblogging the panel and he reports that after showing off an "awesome" new clip from How To Train Your Dragon 2...

The hordes who attend Comic Con every year might be fueled by star power, but sometimes, panels involving those who work behind the cameras are actually just as riveting. In theory, that should be the case here as Dreamworks Animation Filmmaker Focus brings together the company’s COO Bill Damaschke with directors Dean DeBlois, David Soren and Rob Minkoff to talk about “putting a great story through the animation process”.

There are literally thousands, maybe even a million, things to buy at Comic Con, from your standard issue toys and posters to collectibles and rare comics that cost as much as that ticket to San Diego did to begin. How do you decide what to spend your cash on? That's between you and your budget, buster. But this How To Train Your Dragon 2 print might not be a bad place to start

Somehow it's been a full three years since How To Train Your Dragon surprised just about everybody by being not just another Pixar knockoff, not just good enough, but really great on its own terms. And it's taken a while but the animated hit is finally getting a sequel, set for release June 20 next year. That's our first look at it above

DreamWorks production slate through the summer of 2016, and in the mix there's How to Train Your Dragon 2, How to Train Your Dragon 3, Kung Fu Panda 3 and the inevitable spin-off The Penguins of Madagascar. However, there are also a slew of new titles making their way through DreamWorks development.

Harrington will be providing the voice of a "villainous warrior" in the DreamWorks animated film, though the trade doesn't provide any more details about the character or how he fits into the story. The film is a follow-up to the massively successful first film from 2010 and will also feature the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, T.J. Miller, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Kristen Wiig, all of whom played characters in the original.

All of this information comes from director Dean DeBlois himself, who is once again promising the sequel will be "the second act of a much larger story" and that he's planning for a trilogy structure. The news about Butler coming back is a relief, not so much because of Butler's unparalleled skills as a voice actor, but because he voices Hiccup's dad

As previously planned the film will be released in 2013 and in 3D, which shouldn't worry you given how stellar the 3D on the first film was. With Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom hitting theaters next year
